“There were many generations of Latino people coming to this country, coming from difficult political or social situations in their own countries, and they worked very hard to have their kids go to universities. Well, those kids came out and they are now doctors and architects, or they are on the Supreme Court. That has a reflection in Hollywood. So, we are actually very proud that our characters are Latinos, and I think it's good for diversity and cultural interaction.” PeopleThinkingWellsCountryHardCharacterKidsPoliticalSocialDifficultSituationGenerationsProudDiversityReflectionDoctorsHollywoodCourtUniversitySupremeArchitectInteractionSupreme CourtLatino Author:Antonio Banderas

“I'm aware of what my effect on the populous could be, and I try to use it in a positive way, whether it be in an Instagram post or a tweet, or promoting whatever new job that I have. I don't figure too much as a Latino man coming up, or a certain ethnic man. I'm very, very proud of being a Mexican-American man, but I would rather people just see me as a man coming up who just happens to be Mexican.” PeopleMenTryingProudMexicanLatinoTweetNew Job Author:Ryan Guzman
